No. Each week of camp features a trip to a local pool for swimming. Kids will walk to the pool (approximately 900 metres).

Each day without rain, campers are guaranteed to be outdoors for part of the day, which may also include walking within the neighbourhood to local parks.

Authorized pick up persons need to be specified during the registration process. If you want to make changes to those authorized persons closer to the camp, you can contact us. Only those authorized for pick-up will be allowed to pick up your child from the camp.

Although Bromley Road Baptist Church is used as a rain-day location, campers should be prepared with the proper attire such as a sweater, a hat, rain jacket and sunscreen.

See our packing list for everything your child should bring with them to camp.

No. Trips are prepaid and staff cannot be responsible for lost cash or valuables.

No, any toys (including fidgets, Pokemon cards, Beyblades, stuffies, etc. - unless needed for comfort or accommodation and fits in backpack), electronics and other valuables should all be left at home.

Shine On Summer Camp staff and volunteers do not administer medication but can remind a child to take medication him/herself as directed by the parents. All medication must come in the original packaging, and if it is a prescription, the camper’s name must be found on the label. Parents will sign a form indicating the medication, timing and directions for the child to follow and the staff to oversee.

All swimming activities take place at a public pool with qualified lifeguards. There is a shallow end for children who do not wish/are unable to swim.

If your child can swim, but needs a flotation device, please bring that with you to camp and be sure to mention it to the staff at drop-off so that we can make sure to keep your child safe.

It’s always helpful to mention any limitations like this when you drop-off your child, so our staff and volunteers can keep a special eye on them near water!

Be sure you’re only cancelling for the weeks you wish to cancel (and not all of the weeks for which you’re registered).
